That's a great idea! We thought about in the context of elder care where they could ask the robot to perform a task for them, but we first need the models to be a little better - hence why we start here, to collect the data before it spreads further.

And by the way, we already have the app that you can use to control the robot at distance, so you can use the skills you taught it remotely as you make it navigate your home!

On the fact it would get bricked if the company goes under, note that our agent runs on other clouds so it's very easy to run if the company goes under - we would open-source it. But if you're not in the US we can't easily ship it to you for the first batch anyway :)

I hope you continue this work for the foreseeable future, because this would be such a boon if it all pans out well.


Thank you, yes there's a lot of positive that can come out of this technology, and it needs to be developed with the help of everyone in order to get there


Thanks, will keep an eye on your progress. If you want to discuss this kind of use cases in the future, feel free to get in touch.
